    At the end of 1947, during this period of time, the war was still raging on the land of China, but in the competition between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the strength of the Kuomintang army was being disintegrated bit by bit, and  However, the weakness of the Communist army is gradually reversed, and it is getting bigger and stronger.

    This point in time is a watershed. Although the Kuomintang army still has a clear advantage in the Central Plains, the Communist forces on the battlefields in Shandong and Shaanxi seem to have been compressed to the extreme. Just as the Central News Agency said on the radio, it has achieved victory.  It's a big victory. In fact, for those who are familiar with the situation, this is just a kind of propaganda and a kind of self-comfort.

    The development of the Northeastern battlefield has become a microcosm of the competition between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and may also indicate the final evolution of the national situation.

    When the Anti-Japanese War just ended, neither the Kuomintang nor the Communist Party would give up the Northeast region, China's only heavy industry base, so they each used their own capabilities and actively mobilized troops there.

    The Northeast was originally a Japanese-occupied area, but was later occupied by the Soviet Union. When the Japanese supported the puppet Manchukuo to establish their country here, they actually regarded the Northeast as their own backyard and concentrated on running it. Many industrial facilities were also built during the Japanese rule.  Established.  After the Soviet Union sent troops to Northeast China, this behemoth was actually another devil. It was nominally an ally to help China defeat Japan, but in fact it was because they had huge interests here. During the Russo-Japanese War, Russia lost to Japan.  , this time is an opportunity for the Soviet Union to suffer shame.  After the Soviet Union occupied Northeast China, it used it as a bargaining capital with the Nationalist Government, demanding that the Nationalist Government agree to the independence of Outer Mongolia, which was actually under the control of the Soviet Union at this time.  At the same time, the Soviets sent a large number of engineering and technical personnel to dismantle a large number of equipment and machines in the Northeast factories. The remaining factories were nothing more than empty shells.  As for the Soviet Union, they are more willing to see the Chinese fighting each other, so that they can profit from it!  Therefore, while the Soviet Union openly negotiated with the Nationalist Government, it secretly supported the rapid entry of Chinese Communist Party troops; and after the Nationalist Government was finally forced to sell out its control over Outer Mongolia in exchange for its promise to take over Northeast China, in fact  Most of the Northeast is already under the control of the Communist Party.

    In the early stages, the Kuomintang army had a clear advantage.  In September 1945, Xiong Shihui was appointed as the director of the Northeast Camp, and he and Du Yuming, the Northeast Security Commander, jointly presided over the reception and war situation in the Northeast region.  After Du Yuming arrived in the Northeast, he immediately led the 13th Army and the 52nd Army to capture Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou occupied by the Communist forces. Then he marched northward and drove the Communist Northeastern Democratic Alliance Army led by Lin Biao across the Songhua River and occupied  Most areas in the Northeast such as Changchun, Yongji, and Shenyang, but with the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party and the armistice agreement taking effect, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party faced off militaryly along the Songhua River.  Soon, the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party broke down, and the armistice period expired. At this time, the Northeastern Democratic Alliance also relaxed. Du Yuming had to adopt the strategy of defending from the north and attacking from the south. First, he sent Zheng Dongguo to lead his troops to sweep out Rehe Province, and then sent fifty more  The army launched an attack in the direction of Anton and Tonghua, but failed miserably in this direction.

    Beginning in May 1947, Lin Biao led the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army to cross the Songhua River and launch a counterattack southward.  They were invincible along the way, but when they attacked Siping Street, they encountered Chen Mingren, who was very good at city defense. The result of this battle was that Chen Mingren's 30,000 people defending the city suffered 16,000 casualties, while the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army that attacked suffered 4 casualties.  Ten thousand.  After Du Yuming's reinforcements arrived, Lin Biao had to withdraw.

    Later, Du Yuming's physical condition took a turn for the worse and he had to leave the Northeast for treatment in Shanghai. The person who succeeded Du Yuming in taking charge of the overall situation in the Northeast was Chiang Kai-shek's most trusted Chief Chen Cheng. However, although this Chief Chen was honest and capable, he was no match for Lin Biao in terms of military command.  In addition, he believed his classmate Liu Handong's report and dismissed General Chen Mingren, a talented general, from his post for investigation.  The result of several months of fighting was the loss of territory, troops and generals, which completely ruined the originally good situation in the Northeast.

    In fact, there is another fundamental reason for the failure of the Kuomintang army in the Northeast War.  In the Northeast, land reform in the areas occupied by the Communist Party is already in full swing. For most of the poor farmers who have been allocated land, it is reasonable to support the Communist Party. Therefore, although the battle of the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army was extremely fierce,  People who joined the army were very enthusiastic. Lin Biao's military strength actually surpassed the Kuomintang army led by Chen Cheng at this time.

    Faced with Chen Cheng's disastrous defeat in the Northeast, calls for "Kill Chen Cheng to thank the world" were heard in the government. In desperation, Chiang Kai-shek had to remove Chen Cheng from his post and sent veteran Wei Lihuang to serve as the supreme military and political commander of the Northeast. This was already  February 1948?The source of material resources is mainly at the front line.

    10. Make good use of the gaps between two battles to rest and train the troops.  The rest time should generally not be too long, and try not to give the enemy time to breathe.

    In addition, in this report, Mao Zedong also gave instructions on the land reform work and industrial and commercial restoration work in the liberated areas. These tasks are actually to consolidate the achievements of the liberated areas, stabilize the people's hearts, and safeguard the People's Liberation Army's rear area.

    The full text of this report was published in the "Jinsui Daily" and the "People's Daily" of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan on January 1, 1948, and became public.  This made the U.S. Ambassador to China Leighton Stuart feel very surprised after reading it. He did not understand that at this decisive moment in the war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Communists actually disclosed their strategies and tactics to their opponents. This was rare in the history of world wars.  However, in this way, it can also be seen that the Communists disdain and despise the Kuomintang army's combat methods and strategies and tactics.

    Due to the destruction of the Ping-Han Railway by the Chen Su and Chen Xie regiments of the Communist Party, Chief Bai of the Wuhan Suppression General had to deploy 13 brigades from the troops besieging the Dabie Mountains to defend the Ping-Han Railway, and the reorganized 11th Division was transferred to Xinyang  Near Zhumadian in the north, it is responsible for the safety of railway transportation between Suiping and Queshan.

    Hu Congjun arranged the headquarters of the reorganized 11th Division in Zhumadian, and Zhang Xian led the reorganized 11th Brigade to Suiping County, 12 kilometers north of Zhumadian, where he was responsible for road protection.

    On New Year's Day in 1948, Zhang Xian and his reorganized 11th Brigade spent their time with the breaking troops of the East China Field Army, fighting and defending, and defending and attacking. Although the battles were not very big, they were nevertheless  It really involved a lot of energy.

    After New Year¡¯s Day, the Communist Party troops withdrew, the Pinghan-Hankou Railway became much calmer, and the traffic from Zhengzhou to Wuhan finally became normal.

    A few days after February is the beginning of spring, and a few days after the beginning of spring is the Chinese New Year.  On this day, Zhang Xian had just returned from the 32nd Regiment when he received a call from Hu Congjun. The person on the phone changed from his usual serious tone. Although he did not see his face, Zhang Xian could guess that his division commander must be  With a smile on his face: "Zhang Xian, do you remember the wish I made to you?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he had to say: "Master, what wish did you make to me? I have forgotten it!"

    "Haha, when we were in Xinyang!" Hu Congjun reminded him.

    Zhang Xian still shook his head and said: "I really can't remember it, sir, please stop fighting with me! Just tell me!"

    Hu Congjun then smiled and said: "I once said that I was going to bring you a surprise on New Year's Day. Haha, I didn't expect that the war was not over yet, and there was no lull for a moment. It has finally calmed down these days, and it will be over soon.  The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I have to be a few days late in making this promise, but it¡¯s not bad, I can make it in time before the Chinese New Year!¡±

    Zhang Xian then remembered Hu Congjun¡¯s words and couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Teacher, you said you brought me a surprise, what is it?¡±

    "Haha, you should explain the work at hand now and drive to the division headquarters immediately. You will know when you get here!" Hu Congjun still didn't want to tell the truth.

    Knowing that Hu Congjun would not tell him on the phone, Zhang Xian could only nod in agreement.  Putting down the phone, he immediately called Xiong Sanwa, took two guards with him, drove his command vehicle out of Suiping City, and headed to Zhumadian in the south. His heart began to beat, and he vaguely guessed what Hu Congjun was talking about.  What a surprise.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
